We know that Garet has a lot of family and friends out there that are pulling for him but I thought I would show you some of his hospital friends. These are three of his friends that sit at the bottom of his bead and keep him company all day long. Some times they sing to him and sometimes they just sit and make sure the nurses and doctors are doing there job. We know the doctors and nurses are doing a great job but these friends just keep them on there toes.
Garet does have one toy that he loves so much. Our new friend Trish one of Garets nurses found this toy for him. It plays music and has flashing lights. He love to watch the lights flash and I think the music really helps to calm him down.
They were able to take the breathing tube out this morning and he seems to be holding stable. His chest is still moving more than it is suppose to but that is just because of the size of his heart. Garet seems to be a little more comfortable with out the tube down his throat. They do have everything ready if they have to put it back but as of right now we are doing ok with out the tube. We sounds so pitiful when he tries to cry. His throat is very sore and rough so not much sound comes out when he tries to cry but you can see it on his face.
They are giving him methadone every 12 hours to help with the withdraws from the narcotics that they have had him on for the past week. It only takes a few days for there little bodies to get addicted to the narcotics. They will slowly be decreasing the amount of methadone that he gets until he is not getting it any more. We are still not out of the woods yet, depending on if his heart starts to mend itself or not will depend on if we have to get on the transplant list. Right now all we can do is pray and leave it up to God to do what he feels is best for our little man. I know I say it at the end of each of my post but thank you so much for all the thoughts and prayers please keep them coming.
